"Hala! Naiwan si Rocky!" (2026) - Directed by Pearl Barcos

A chance reunion during a ride from Manila to Atimonan, Quezon forces three estranged friends to confront buried wounds, lingering guilt, and the unspoken truths that drove them apart years ago.

Bayan Pamilya at Kasbu (2026) - Directed by Dennis Empalmado “My country, my family and our uncertain future” In the year 2000, approaching fatherhood for the first time, filmmaker Dennis Empalmado compiled home movie footages to assemble a video letter to his yet unborn son. Twenty-six years later, Empalmado unseals a time capsule that lays bare the issues that occupied his psyche then and now: the safety of his family and the fate of his community. A strange juxtaposition of hope against the largely uncertain future of his country.

In the blue corner… hailing from Silay City, Negros, notorious online as the enfante terrible Hubineer, is award-winning graphic designer and artist Ginoe! They weave together cutouts of male boxers and dancers. Limbs are detached, and configured into the body work of cataclysm, and force majeure. The velocity of a haymaker becomes the velocity of a comet—brace for impact!

In the pink corner… hailing from Indang, Cavite, known for their otherworldly rendering and figuration, is the veteran artist and illustrator Tokwa Penaflorida! Their images clinch together intimacy and violence, often entwined in relations between men. Twist your foot as you jab, then take your partner’s hand as you backpedal, keeping in time with the music. The boxer, with his face bruised and bloodied, raises his fists—the next round begins!

Featuring 11 new works on paper, the two sensational artists go toe-to-toe, pitting collage against watercolor. Their figurations clash in slow motion, blurring into streaks of blue and pink!

Join us ringside on May 9, 2026 Saturday, 6pm onwards.

STAYC girls, you’re blowing up! As u should! This personal project was supposed to come out before the release of Poppy (or after the their new logo release), but I didn’t managed to work on this then, so I have decided to come back and finish this exercise. I just think the new logo is quite something. I don’t get it. So I created some wordmark explorations, all based on each of their singles: Stereotype, Poppy, and Run 2 U. Will share their applications after I finish working on them!

A new documentary by Dennis Empalmado - “Naglalakbay” (Posters / Posts)

The diaspora of Filipinos around the globe is driven mostly by the economics of supply and demand. The yearning for something better, stability and self-validation leads a handful of sojourners from the provinces of the Philippines into the arms of one of its former colonial masters — the USA. But what happens when they finally get what they want? And how? Filmmaker Dennis Empalmado explores the musings of Filipino expatriates and hopeful immigrants in "Naglalakbay" (Travelers). Synopsis by Jerico Torres

Congrats uli sa buong team ng Anak ng Santol, ang ganda nung pelikula! <3

Good luck sa team mamaya! Kaya yan! 💪🏆💕

Wordmark: Para Sa Bukas Na Kulay Rosas (2022)

This work is for Creatives with Leni's art book.

"A collection of visual arts that inspire us to dream and hope. All proceeds for the book will go directly to the production of campaign materials for on the ground groups and organizations that campaign for Leni, Kiko, and the whole Tropang Angat."

Started this as a personal design exercise where the goal is to show my admiration and support to Leni. To achieve this I combined certain elements from Aespa’s creative direction, Lorde’s wordmark for her Solar Power album, and I’m guessing a bit of online gaming (not sure, but I sense that’s where I got those tails for E and N). Then I also sourced for opinions where I asked if what I did was legible, if it was too messy, or are they good enough for the general public. Thankfully, many of them responded, namely: Ginoe (hello!), Jo, Naomi, Lloyd, and my SO - Clyde. Genuinely grateful for their time and opinion to this work!

Then unexpectedly this blossomed to an exciting collaboration to one of my coolest friend, Ginoe (@hubineer). Our Lady in Pink, he coined this title, created the illustration, designed the sticker set, and layout the shirt design. He blew me away with his speed and thought process, simply outstanding! Massive thanks to his efforts to make this more than it could’ve. ✨

Mas radikal magmahal! 

Made this Catalonan wordmark, a collaboration with Ferds and his team. I learned how to stabilize sculpting on Blender while making this project, happy for myself for that! 

See a more clearer version of the video (I made it into a gif here, lol) at play here.
